Appletree Appleflap Noseless Kite Surfboard
High waves, high wind, high control
The Appleflap Noseless is a modern approach to a more traditional wave kiteboard. Narrow tail with pinched rails for optimal control at high speeds and in bigger surf. With a decent amount of rocker so the board doesn’t nosedive when coming down a wave. A wave kiteboard designed for control when you need it most. If high wind and big waves is your playground, than the Appleflap Noseless is your perfect partner!
The advantages of having a noseless board are clear. It takes a bit of getting used to not seeing the pointy nose, but less weight, easy travel and a slightly looser feel make the noseless version a good option. The back 2/3 of the board are exactly the same as if the board had a nose, including the rocker. We only added a slight flip in the stubby nose to prevent it from diving.

Board features
Noseless shape
It takes a bit of getting used to not seeing the pointy nose, but less weight, easy travel and a slightly looser feel make the noseless version a good option.
Flip in the stubby nose
We flattened the rocker in the middle part of the board for better upwind capability and down the line speed. The back 2/3 of the board is exactly the same as if the board had a nose, including the rocker. We only added a slight flip in the stubby nose to prevent it from diving when coming down a wave.
Single to double concave
The Appleflap Noseless has a single to double concave for control and precision surfing. You will be amazed with how easy this board rides upwind, it is very easy to ride on the spot.
Narrow tail with pinched rails
It has a narrow tail with pinched rails for optimal control at high speeds and in bigger surf.
Stable platform
Waiting for the next set and finding a nice ramp to take off? The narrow tail makes it a surprisingly stable platform to land on when jumping. To further aid strapless tricks, the Appleflap Noseless features a grab rail in the deck.
The Appleflap Noseless in meant to be ridden small and with power in the kite
Construction
White-line build strength
This is the standard construction for kite wave surfing. Meaning true surfing with a kite. You can do the occasional freestyle jump, but in general these boards are made for the waves. The construction consists of the normal Kite+ construction, but without the internal 3mm honeycomb. Instead there is an extra biaxial fibreglass layer under the front foot. The construction is more than strong enough for everyday use, and you will not ding the board easily. After some time slight heel dents may appear, this is considered normal, and it will not weaken the board.
Kite+
This is our standard custom construction, pictured above. Suits most riders for wave and freestyle. And is therefore our standard custom strength construction. Under the front foot there’s a large patch of 3mm honeycomb inlaid in the foam core, with fibreglass underneath. The core is then wrapped by a layer of structural fibre- glass in a 45 degree orientation. A second thin flexible honeycomb layer is now layered all over the deck for more impact resistance. The Kite+ strength has the perfect balance between weight, strength and flex.
Kite+ S
The same construction as the Kite+ but with all the glass in S glass. This higher quality glass is stronger and more flexible. Because of this, we can use less fibreglass and this makes the board about 15-20% lighter.
About Appletree
What started in a shed on an apple tree farm in the Netherlands by two brothers has now become the leading brand for kite surf boards and foil boards. They have expanded and built a dedicated production facility in Portugal. Their secret is their proprietary 50k closed cell foam which they use in all their boards. This is light, flexible, durable and waterproof. Together with their hex skin glass or carbon finish, it makes for a bombproof board.
